More Than 1.75 Million Travelers to Pass Through LAX During Year-End Holiday Season

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 22, 2006 -- More than 1.75 million travelers are
expected to pass through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) during the
annual year-end holiday season that begins Friday, Dec. 22, and continues
through Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2007.

This year's holiday-period total of air travelers at LAX is expected to
rival, but not exceed, last year's count of 1.77 million. At LA/Ontario
International Airport (ONT), the passenger total during the holidays is
expected to reach approximately 200,000, also a little less than last
year's total of 209,000.

Airport officials believe passenger volumes have not increased this year
because load factors were at record levels last year and airlines have not
added additional capacity due to high fuel costs and a desire to increase
profitability.

The busiest travel days during this holiday period are expected to be the
three days before Christmas and the weekend ending Jan. 2, when airlines
are forecasting almost full to maximum capacity on most of their flights.

Airport officials recommend passengers departing LAX during daily peak
travel periods from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 7
p.m. to 9 p.m., arrive at their airline ticketing lobby two hours before
domestic flights and three hours before international flights.

Persons traveling from ONT are asked to arrive at the airport 1-1/2 hours
before domestic flights and two hours before international flights serving
Mexico.

Travelers using LAX will experience improved passenger conveniences, such
as remote airline and baggage check-in service at the Union Station and Van
Nuys FlyAway Stations, Los

Angeles Convention Center and Port of Los Angeles, as well as valet parking
at Lots 4 and 6 across from the same-numbered terminals on the
Lower/Arrivals Level. Non-stop FlyAway bus service to LAX is provided at
Van Nuys and Union Station only. For more information on FlyAway services,
call I-866-I FLY LAX (866-435-9529).

Other LAX amenities include:

-- Four more passenger screening lanes have been added in an effort to
expedite passage through the security lines. This brings the total number
of screening lanes at LAX to 68, the most at any U.S. airport.
-- Zip Through LAX, a program that provides plastic bags to travelers to
hold coins, cell phones, keys, pens and other metallic items in order to
facilitate passenger security screening. The bag dispensers are located in
all terminals.
-- To help motorists avoid traffic congestion in the Central Terminal
Area, the LAX Cell Phone Waiting Lot, located at 9011 Airport Boulevard,
offers a free waiting alternative where motorists can wait for arriving
passengers to call them on their cell phones and then drive to the curbside
for pickup.

New passenger amenities and safety and security enhancements at ONT
include:

-- More pricing rate options available for economy and daily parking.
-- Airport "Ambassadors" now assist travelers at curbside and in the
terminals with information about airport services and security
requirements.
-- Additional rental car agencies offering on-airport service at the
facility.
